In the opening scene of Mission Impossible 2 it involves in a rock climbing scene which looks quite daunting from the audiences perspective. The film is an action film and it involves lots of missions which include stunts. The actor who is playing Ethan Hunt is Tom Cruise he is a great character for this film as you need a good looking guy to do lots of action stunts which will draw the audience in as he is so good looking. When Tom Cruise is climbing the rocks he uses his bare hands this shows the audience that he is strong and not afraid to do anything. Half way through climbing the wall tom cruise falls and then grabs the edge of the rock with one hand this shows the audience that he is very adventurous and brave and loves a challenge. When Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) uses just one hand to hold onto the rock its some how amazes the audience that he has so much courage and it looks so easy but in reality its really painful and hard. near the end of the opening a helicopter throws a metal arrow onto the ground, inside the arrow there was some sunglasses. When Ethan puts the sunglasses on a mystery voice from the IMF to complete a mission, the mans voice is very demanding this shows the audience that the mission they get set are very serious. Ethan then accepts and then it goes into the opening titles which is really dramatic with loads of effects and music. The location in the opening scene the middle of nowhere with loads of rocks, this makes the scene more exciting when scenes are shot in the middle of nowhere it tends to be more dramatic and more exciting towards the audience to watch. The characters in the opening scene is mainly just Ethan Hunt ( Tom Cruise) as he is the main character he should star in the opening scene and because Tom Cruise is a famous actor the audience are more likely to expect him in the opening scene. The opening scene is effective toward the audience as it is exciting and dramatic as this is what the audience should expect from a action genre.
The sound effects used in the opening is varied as at the very start you can here the wind this is an Ambient sound as it is a back ground sound of the scene and has a more detailed effect. as you get into the scene their is background music which is an African themed music this is effective as it related to the scenery around Ethan and it is very catchy as well. As Ethan jumps from one part of the cliff to another in the middle of his jumps the music tones down a bit and his movements goes in slow motion, this shows the intense motion of his jump. Half way through the music stops and you here a helicopter this is also an ambient sound. Once the helicopter leaves there is some serious bass music this shows that things are about to get serious. However the music quietens down when the man is speaking to Ethan. Finally at the end of the scene it starts to get serious as the titles start to come up so there is some serious music playing. the body language that Ethan has in the opening scene is the feeling of bravery as he wants to achieve climbing the cliff this shows the audience that he is brave and ambiguous. Also he shows a sense of pain as he jumps from one rock to another,but however he acts all cool which the audience will love as he is a good looking actor that the nation loves.
The main shot used in is a long shot of Ethan climbing the cliff this also shows the view of the location and how high up he is. Also there is also a tracking movement shown as the camera is moving around the location to show all the surroundings. There is also a high shot shown in the opening scene this shows Ethan climbing from a high point of view and you can also see how high up he is and how daunting it must be. Finally there is a lot of extreme close ups and close up shot this shows the audience the intense emotion shown in Ethan's face. Overall the opening scene of Mission Impossible 2 is very dramatic and ambiguous and effects the audience by there being crazy stunts on the rock and is an overall good action film.
